    Favorite Horror Movies of All Time

    Here are my favorite scary movies of all time:

    9. Night of the Living Dead - George Romero Original Classic

    8. The Shinning - a Horror classic with outstanding performances

    7. Silence of the lambs - Writing, Directing, acting and overall make this a must see (won 5 academy awards including movie of the year)

    6. Hellraiser - One of Horror movies best Villains ever, Pinhead is the ultimate, thank you Clive Barker

    5.Halloween 2 - Halloween set the standard for slasher films, Halloween 2 was everything that I wanted and more!

    4. Insidious - I'm not really a PG movie horror fanatic so for this movie to make my list had to be special

    3.The Devil's Rejects - Rob zombie at his best, characters that are down right sick...what more can you ask in a movie!!

    2. The Sixth Sense - that part at the end when Cole tells his mom " I wish to communicate" just wow. M. Night Shyamalan what happen to you?

    1. The Exorcist - what is there to say about this movie that has not already been said. FYI I slept with a bible for a long time after watching this movie!!

    Honorable mention- Rosemary's baby, It, Poltergeist, Day of the Living Dead (original) and the Evil Dead!!

    I'll chime in more responsibly when I have given it more thought. I would have a hard time setting things in a 1, 2, 3 scenario, because it just ain't that easy.

    I will say I loved the early classics. They set the standard, and they were damn good...the 30's and 40's with Dracula (Bela), the Mummy (Karloff) , Frankenstein (Karloff), the Wolfman (Lon Cheney Jr). They were made for adults, and they stand the test of time, not like the weak CGI movies of today, made almost exclusively for kids. Of course, their prdecessors, Golem, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Murneaus's (spelling?) Nosferatu with Max Shreck (spelling?) were great examples of expressionist horror.

    Now, Laser, I liked Halloween 2 as well, but I liked the original better (ostensibly Halloween 1, but just Halloween, technically), but they were both done well. I think Carpenter's earliest works were his best.

    Romero's Night of the living Dead is a classic as well, something I'm sure he would have never imagined on the paltry budget he had.

    The Haunting is up there. Robert Wise. Never saw the monster, but you were scared sh*tless nonetheless. The sounds...the walls bulging...damn! And Wise's The Day the Earth Stood Still is one of my all time favorite SciFi treats. I know... I digress.

    I think Nightmare on Elm Street was done well. But the franchise beyond that was disappoitning. Once I get to know the "monster," or source of fear, I'm not scared. Freddy became a parody of the early role. Think of it, the original premise...If you surrender youself to sleep, I'm going to get you. What choices do you have? That's scary!.

    Great thread!

    Yes, Captain, Tobe Hooper's Texas was great. When they were in the van at the very beginning, it was unsettling...and you knew a happy ending was not in store. That set the stage for Leatherface and his "delightful" family to make things more menacing...and more menacing ... So good...and so unsettling...and that is the objective of a great horror flick.
